Time is crazy. I can’t believe it was 11 months ago that I stood here to do the December Energy Forecast. That was an auspicious forecast, because it was December 2012 and people were divided between whether the world was about to end, or the spaceships were going to land, or something massive was going to shift.

As I and many people said at the time, the knowledge that we’ve had for thousands of years is that it was always a marker point and it was always going to signify a change in consciousness. And in the same way that for most people, the energy body (and our emotions and thoughts) can change faster than the actual physical body can; it’s the same with this shift in consciousness. It will take time to ground.

Many people are still in the aftershock of, “Well the spaceships didn’t land” or “We didn’t get saved.” Many people are still a little bit confused about the structural changes of our world. Yes, everywhere you look banking systems, government, all of those aspects of society that we knew would be under review or question, it’s all happening. It’s just taking a longer time to play out in a big way than most people would like or expect. And it’s important to remember this to keep yourself centered.

Many years ago I was channeling and what came through was that the shift period was going to take a much longer time than anyone anticipated; and that 2013 to 2020 were going to be the years where a lot that had been stirred up around 2012 would play out and take place.

It’s important to remember this when we are surrounded by the chaos that we’re surrounded by. The amount of flux in the world is high right now and also, a word that came up this morning with Marc, the videographer, is the word 'fragility'.

It seems many things are very fragile at the moment, whether that is you and your personal state feeling fragile, or whether it’s things that you are trying to turn into action in the outside world have a real fragility around them as to whether or not they will work. So many people are having technical problems or issues with technology. People are also noticing problems with general flow in life.

And the gift of this, of course, is that we learn to become more patient. We learn to not always need to have it go the way it used to go. And this is true for us as individuals as much as it is for things that we are creating or working on in the world.

I just returned from a month spent in Europe, mostly in Slovenia. I had to take three plane rides to get home. On the final flight I sat next to the most amazing lady called Linda. She was 81. I’m fascinated with older age and I always have been. I’ve always been interested in older people and if you live that long, how must it feel to go through 80 years of change? Because even at 37 I can feel so different in myself to how I felt 5, 10, 15 years ago.

The thing that hit me about Linda was her gratitude. It shone from her eyes. We were talking and I asked her, “What is it that you’ve experienced having lived 81 years? How does it feel? What is that like?”

And she was so immediate in her reply. She immediately just said, “Well, I grew up in a small Kansas town", and she said “The fact that I’ve got to just visit New York to see my kids and grandkids and to get to see a play on Broadway, that’s amazing to me.”

We talked about her losing her husband and health things that she was going through, but she didn’t focus on any of that when I asked her the question. In the moment of me asking her that question, her eyes lit up and she just shared her gratitude and wonder. And she lit me up. My reaction was, “Wow!” I would like to be like this at her age or sooner." For me, Linda was the ultimate spiritual truth – someone who is alive in this body, having this crazy and diverse experience down on Planet Earth and making the best of it with gratitude. And because of her energy of making the best of it, you should have seen as we walked through the airport – I walked her down to where she was being picked up to collect her bags – the amount of people who were interested in talking to her and gravitating around her because of what she was able to just hold in herself and give off.

So, all of this 'work' that we can do around self-development, transformation, spirituality - the kind of cosmic joke for me about all of it is, ultimately there comes a point where you don’t need to do any more work. You don’t need to read another book. You don’t need to hear another piece of philosophy about spirituality and that’s the place that everyone is looking to reach. That place where you hit a bigger level of flow in your life where what you are able to do in the world and experience in the world magnifies wholeheartedly. And this is what everyone’s looking for. A sense of connection and flow.

So I spend a lot of time in these forecasts addressing the mind, because the mind is one of our 'dis-eases', in society. Over-thinking, and neurotic thoughts that are allowed to play out because the emotions are off balance are signs of a mind in dis-ease. We’ve forgotten how to use our inner connection to connect with what is going on inside us, which would calm the body and senses and ultimately, the mind.

I shared this at a recent event, but if you’re able to do this with me now this would be a good thing:

Wherever you are right now if you are able to stand up, please stand up. And when you’re standing, start leaning forward as far as you can until you start to fall over. You can stop yourself before you fall over, but if you just keep leaning to the point where you’re going to lose your balance, and notice that feeling in your body.

If you were to try walking down the street like this, you’d be constantly falling or nearly falling and you wouldn’t be getting anywhere very fast and it would be frustrating for you. This is what your mind is doing to you all of the time when you have thoughts going on a loop. You’ve basically come off the center of your body. You’ve come away from your emotional center, your happy place or your centered place, whatever it is for you, and you’ve started to over-think because something is off balance in the body. If you can just remember in these moments, this physical demonstration of what you are trying to do if you keep letting that mind run away with itself it will help.

The reason I talk about this so much is it’s one of the things that, with the exception of a few people that have enlightenment experiences where they are popped beyond the mind – and that doesn’t happen to many people on Earth, most of us have to go through the process of rewiring our own pattern. So becoming aware of it when it’s happening is the first key. Being able to go into your body and, as I’ve said before, put hands on your body, center yourself, put on good music, change something in your environment to change the energy.

But we are a very mind based society. So when people are very mental or very in their mind, and they’ve got mind loops going on, if you get near them and there are too many mind loops playing in them, you’re going to start to feel a little off balance unless you notice what is occuring and use your awareness to observe and be present with what is taking place.

So this 'overbalancing' is just a principle you can remember to help you reset when too many thoughts occur.

The big thing that we forget a lot of the time about life when we’re striving to achieve something or striving toward a goal is: life is a wave. And the best thing that you can do as a human being is learn to swim it every day and learn how to do front crawl, how to do backstroke, how to tread water - because all of it might be needed depending on what the ocean is like on any given day.

I’ve given several short tools in these forecasts over the last months, which are designed to help you shift out of areas such as self-limitation; self-doubt and I’ve spoken a lot on boundaries and the energetics of others and how they affect us. So if any of these areas are current themes for you, go back and look at the last few forecasts, from July through October.

What I will say today is more of a general message about the energy of our time and what we are about to move into.

There is a beautiful vulnerability that is now taking place in a far more grounded and set way than before on Earth.

Many months ago I said you’ll find people are more heartfelt; more open, more willing to connect. Now you’ll be getting used to seeing that around you, it more and more becomes true. And as this starts to become normal, it allows the feminine to take a bigger hold in our way of being.

So the feminine side of us is more accepting, more flowing, and more able to move with the changes than our masculine. Think Linda, the 81 year old, on the airplane. She was very in her feminine. She was using her masculine to think about logic or what she needed to do get her luggage etc, but she was mostly just flowing and open hearted and thus carried along on that wave for much of the time. And that’s the new energy that we are grounding as a human race on Earth right now. And it’s going to take a few decades for it to really ground in the people, and to not be reacted 'against', but thats what we are currently absorbing and becoming at this time.

So, some of you will be having some strange moments and reactions around that experience. You might be getting very fixated in a war with somebody about their opinion or your opinion – and that’s just the masculine shouting around a little bit, going “but it should be this way!” The old masculine part of you is trying to adjust to the fact that there is no 'one' way anymore – there shouldn’t be “a” way - there are always multiple ways. The more you start to get less attached to something being fixed in one direction or on a certain timescale, the easier this time will be for you. The more you want to fight it, the harder it’s going to be and you’re going to process a lot of emotion through the fight.

So over the coming months we will see a wave of this feminine energy reinvigorating the masculine, and supporting all sorts of projects and humanitarian movements on Earth. There will be a continuation of global discussion, governmentally, economically, environmentally all of that is going to keep going.

And to add to it, there is now a really potent; I want to say potent pregnancy available on Earth. And pregnancies are available all the time energetically. Creators know this, especially if you create something every day, you know that you’re pregnant in the morning, the baby’s out by the evening and then you start again the next day.

But on a world scale there is an incredible power rising now around heartfelt community based humanitarian intended projects. And these things are going to get stronger and stronger. 2014 and 2015 are the big emergence years. There are people right now planning and creating things that we don’t even know about, that are going to come out into the world next year and the following year and be real game changers around future society, future economy, everything.

So, the new vulnerability that we’re getting used to is good, because it takes us out of what was the old masculine paradigm and allows us to start living in a new way.

So just be aware of that feminine/masculine dance within you. Are you in an argument with someone? Are they allowing flexibility? Are they allowing things to just be? Are you? And how much are you appreciating every single moment?

I said it in the last forecast, that being here in Colorado during the september floods, we really experienced how death and loss can be a second away at any time. So, appreciation and gratitude for life and what you have in every moment is a vital life force – a choice that is good for the planet and good for you.

So, that’s all for this month - thanks for tuning in.

I am doing a live event in America in December which has just been decided. I’m doing this in Boulder, Colorado. So if you’re in the Boulder or Denver area it’s December the 14th, we will put all details at the end of this video.

Then on January the 4th, I’m doing ‘Open to Your Highest Potential’, the same event, in Amsterdam where I haven’t been for a few years.

So, I’m looking forward to seeing some of you live. See the rest of you in The Portal for the monthly Q&A.
